Why Is Our Society Degrading So Badly, So Fast?
American Thinker.com ^ | December 7, 2019 | K.S. Guardiola

Our Founders created a nation in which the rule of law would prevail and be applied equally to citizens from all walks of life and also would act as a restraint on the power of our leaders. The tradition also includes the assumed duty of all Americans, including our political leaders, to live within the established and agreed upon laws of society.

The Democratic Party's increasingly progressive, left-leaning, radical political agenda contests this fundamental and longstanding American tradition of the law applying equally to all our citizens. Whether I am walking on the streets of my city or viewing the news, I am witnessing on a daily basis increasingly uncivil, lawless, and visibly politically corrupt conduct being tolerated by our country.

Democratic Party policies today support the idea that adhering to the rule of law is no longer obligatory for several designated and politically favored groups selected by them. Progressive politics is attempting to move Americans to accept and adopt a multi-tier justice system based on the unequal application of the law, whereby treatment by the system is increasingly dependent on subjective political considerations.

On a local level in many cities and communities, Democrats in power are by their actions undermining the rule of law. For example, expected compliance with the law in several of our leading cities run by Democratic Party leaders, including most notably New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Seattle, is now often based on a person's economic and immigration status, race, sex, sexual orientation, and increasingly an indication of a person's political and religious affiliations. The reason for these exemptions being granted is based on the dual ideologies of identity politics and social justice.

Lol, really? It’s not difficult. This is what a nation looks like that’s turned its back on God.

Our society, such as it is, is based on a foundation of absolute values/morality. When that foundation is removed and replaced by a foundation of “relative” values/morality (i.e. a foundation of shifting sand), it is obvious that the society itself cannot and will not stand.

Our entire education system has been thoroughly compromised. Our new generations are being taught that everything that we hold dear, everything that makes America exceptional, is wrong.

I disagree. Our society has never been better. If you focus on California and New York City, it looks pretty bad...and the NEWS MEDIA only focuses on THE BAD. Go out and look the other 98% of the USA and you will see a more magnificent country than we have ever known. High employment, prosperity, technology even in rural settings. Stop looking at the 2% of the dirty underbelly and celebrate the 98% amazing USA!

That is definitely the case, but there is another item that is a symptom of this.

Dishonesty on a scale so large made possible by mass communication that is literally causing madness that is somehow contagious.

Lies are destroying this species, much less this country.

It’s a bit like a line I heard at the end of the Chernobyl series, what causes Russian nuclear reactors to explode? Lies.

Lies are going to lead to the downfall of Mankind, and Jesus is the one who teaches us to not lie.

1. Driving God, and therefore divine law, out of society.
2. Elevating man-made “rights” for some segments of society over divinely granted rights such as those in the Bill of Rights.
3. Attacking first, second, fourth, and sixth amendment rights.
4. Divide and conquer politics.
5. Defining deviancy way, way down.
6. 50 million dead unborn.

Only number 1 should be interpreted as implying precedence.

Our society is not degrading. The great majority of Americans are law-abiding, righteous people. True, more and more young people embrace liberal values. But crime overall in the US has fallen sharply over the past two decades.

What has increased is the media’s ability to amplify marginal behaviors and values as if they are norms. That there is not more widespread degradation with the constant media bombardment is a testament to the strong social fabric of our society.

IT SEEMS OUR SOCIETY IS NOT DEGRADING BY ITSELF, IT IS BEING DEGRADED BY THE HOUSE CONTROLLING PARTY’S EXAMPLE OF BELLIGERENCE TOWARD OUR GREAT LEADERSHIP.

What you said!! Also summed up in this quote

“America is great because she is good. If America ceases to be good, America will cease to be great.” ― Alexis de Tocqueville

The 2% is going to take all of you described down with it.

Most people are sheep. There are far more sheep than there are wolves. The wolves drive the herd.

Look in history at how a very small group of very evil people can rule entirely a very large group of good people.

Positive laws are created by the state and are subjective, relative, not general, not universal, and evolutionary. They are opposite to natural laws, given by God, which are absolute, incorrigible, immutable, general, universal, and not evolutionary.

Cuz we have benn taken over the same group that hijacked the “Russian Revolution” and then drove the country into the ground.

They despise God.

For centuries they have nursed an abiding hostility to the whole of The Occident, regarding the various natives as created by God specifically to serve them.

Its the same group of people.
